"I think it's just sensational" - Jacksepticeye gets emotional and thanks community after raising $10 million during Thankmas livestream

At the 10-hour mark, Jacksepticeye was notified that the charity stream had surpassed $10 million in donations. He began to shed tears, saying that he would have been "shocked" if they even hit $2 million:

"I was like, 'Dude, if we hit $2 million today, I would be shocked and really, really happy.' Thank you, everyone! Now I am crying! Jesus Christ! Now I'm uncomfortable, I don't know what to do. Thank you, everyone, who just, helps out every year with this."

Sean recalled the previous year's Thankmas and speculated that this year's event would not cross the milestone:

"I mean, it always just blows past my expectations every year. We did like, $4 million, two years ago, and last year was $7.5 million. And the fact now that we've been passed; I didn't think we'd ever pass that, ever! That'll never happen. And now, here we are."

The Irish YouTuber thanked World Central Kitchen for providing information, as well as demonstrating "tangible" aspects of how the donations will help benefit people. He added:

"I think it's absolutely remarkable the work you guys are doing, and it's not an easy task to do. To be able to coordinate that much effort. I think it's just sensational and I don't... I don't say that lightly. I'm not just like, blowing smoke up people's a**es, just to be like, 'Hey, we raised a lot of money!' It's genuinely inspiring."

Jacksepticeye also expressed gratitude to all the guests who joined the effort, stating that this year's Thankmas was the "most fun":

"Thank you to all the guests that showed up as well. Mark, Arin, Chef Nyesha, Chef Antonia, Rae, and Bella showing up. Jack Black, honor. And just everybody. It really... like, people showing up and donating as well. But also donating their time and their efforts to be able to help out, and it's not only the... it is the most fun Thankmas we've ever done."
